Overview: It is hard to evaluate Greene’s year because the Jets began the season committed to throwing the ball more. When they scrapped that plan and went back to Ground and Pound he showed improvement as his carries increased.

The hiring of Tony Sparano as offensive coordinator is a clear indication the Jets want to get back to running the ball more. Tomlinson has told friends that if he plays, it won’t be for the Jets. It was pretty clear he grew tired of the drama around the team. McKnight showed his ability as a kick returner. It may be time to see what he can do as a back by giving him an increased workload.

Offseason priority rating (1 to 5 with 5 being the highest priority): 3

Costello’s call: If Alabama’s Richardson somehow slips to 16 where the Jets can grab him, that will be a no-brainer. Otherwise, I think they will stand pat with Greene as their primary ball-carrier and mix in McKnight more this year. Tomlinson’s two-year stay with the Jets is almost certainly over. I don’t see them bringing him back.

There will be a ton of attention on Mark Sanchez entering his fourth season, but it might be Greene, also entering his fourth year, that carries the Jets’ offensive fortunes. Sparano’s arrival means the Jets will run the ball more than they did under Brian Schottenheimer.
